Fm Dm Fm Dm Fm Dm C . . . .

Dm Fm
send a heartbeat to
Dm Fm
the void that cries through you
Dm Fm Dm
relive the pictures that have come to pass
Fm Dm
for now we stand alone
Fm Dm
the world is lost and blown
Fm Dm
and we are flesh and blood
A# D# Dm A# D# Dm
disintegrate . . . . with no more to hate

Gm Dm
is it bright where you are? have the people changed?
C Gm
does it make you happy you’re so strange?
Gm Dm
and in your darkest hour , i hold secrets flame
C Gm Dm
we can watch the world devoured in its pain

Fm Dm Fm Dm Fm Dm C . . . .

Dm Fm
delivered from the blast
Dm Fm
the last of a line of lasts
Dm Fm Dm
the pale princess of a palace cracked
Fm Dm
and now the kingdom comes
Fm Dm
crashing down undone
Fm Dm
and i Am a master of A
A# D# Dm A# D# Dm
nothing place . . . of recoil and grace

Gm Dm
is it bright where you are? have the people changed?
C Gm
does it make you happy you’re so strange?
Gm Dm
and in your darkest hour , i hold secrets flame
C Gm Dm
we can watch the world devoured in its pain

bridge/key change part :

Am6 F#m Am6 F#m Am6 F#m E . . . .

Dm . . . . . . . ( just hang on this chord the whole verse )
time has stopped before us
the sky cannot ignore us
no one can separate us
for we are all that is left
the echo bounces off me
the shadow lost beside me
there’s no more need to pretend
cause now i can begin again

Gm Dm
is it bright where you are? have the people changed?
C Gm
does it make you happy you’re so strange?
Gm Dm
and in your darkest hour , i hold secrets flame
C A#7 Dm
we can watch the world devoured in its pain

A#7 Dm
strange . . . . .
A#7 Dm
strange . . . .
A#7 Dm
strange . . . .
